But you haven't actually provided numbers that support that argument. You have shown where wal-mart makes deals, like many corporations do, with cities to move their facilities into the area. However you haven't shown where this has been a real problem.
I also fail to understand how the state paying health care for wal-mart employees isn't in any way subsidizing wal-mart, it is subsidizing individuals that need a little help. And if I do accept this, then I fail to understand why it is OK for some companies, but not OK for wal-mart. > -----Original Message----- > From: dana tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 4:12 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: [signs of sanity] MD no longer subsidizing Walmart > > they are individuals and none of them seems the least bit familiar with > economic theory.
